These are difficult times in our world, and we need to stand and work together as women and men of faith.  \nAs you know, the global theme for this year’s celebration of International Women’s Day is Be Bold for Change. Here in Vatican City, physically at the center of the church, Voices of Faith and JRS seek to be Making the Impossible Possible. Especially here in Rome, that is a bold change! I would like to reflect on what making the impossible possible means to me as the leader of the Society of Jesus, as a citizen of the world, and as a member of the Catholic Church. We need to have the faith that gives the audacity to seek the impossible, as nothing is impossible for God. The faith of Mary that opened her heart as a woman to the possibility of something new: to become the Mother of God’s son.  \nJRS: Resilience  \nAs you may be aware, I come from Latin America, a continent with millions of displaced people. With almost 7 million, Colombia has the largest number of internally displaced people in the world, and a disproportionate number of them are women and children. I served at the border between Colombia and my native Venezuela for 10 years. I have seen first-hand the suffering of those forced to abandon everything to save their lives.  \nIn Colombia, for example, women and girls are among the most vulnerable due to widespread violence caused by decades of conflict. They are exposed to armed recruitment and are likely to fall victim to one form of exploitation or another, ranging from modern day slavery, to survival sex and human trafficking. Many of them flee to neighboring countries in search of safety, and often find themselves on their own in efforts to sustain their families.  \nI have also witnessed women’s resilience. Despite this traumatic reality, women often find their way to not just surviving, but also overcoming all the difficulties of exile and forced migration. Resilience is what enables us to move forward and think of the future. Resilience is essential for making the impossible possible. Let me offer an example.  \nAt the Venezuelan-Colombian border, the Jesuit Refugee Service has been present for more than ten years. During this time, JRS has brought refugee women from Colombia together by using their artistic expression as a starting point for rediscovering resilience.  \nWhile expressing themselves creatively through art, women also share their experiences and create a network of support to improve their psychosocial well-being. This healing environment is a place for listening and coming together—in other words, resilience. Resilience empowers women and ultimately results in hope and the possibility of reconciliation with the past, with those who have harmed them, and with those where they now live. Reconciliation requires courage, and too often, even in 2017, women’s courage, women’s resilience, is unrecognized and undervalued.  \nBy building human connections resilience reknits the communal fabric. Some may say such resilience is impossible to discover: JRS and Voices of Faith say otherwise.  \nThe World: Collaboration  \nAs a member of the human community, each of us is likely appalled at the situation of our world. Human displacement has hit an all-time high, representing incredible human suffering around the world. Ongoing conflicts are at the root of most of this forced exile.There are more than 65 million forcibly displaced among us: one in every 113 people globally is now an asylum-seeker, an internally displaced per","cbCaisktcGOXqtL6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisktcGOXqtL6","pdf",25799,"English","# Stirring the Waters – Making the Impossible Possible\n## Voices of Faith and the theme of Be Bold for Change\n## JRS: Resilience\n## The World: Collaboration","[{\"question\":\"What does “Making the Impossible Possible” mean in the speech?\",\"answer\":\"It is presented as a call grounded in faith and audacity to seek what seems unattainable, especially by recognizing God and renewing hope through women’s courage and resilience.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) support refugee women?\",\"answer\":\"JRS brings refugee women together by using their artistic expression as a starting point to rediscover resilience, share experiences, build support networks, and improve psychosocial well-being.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the speech emphasize collaboration between women and men?\",\"answer\":\"Because peace and reconciliation require collective action; the speech argues that only by working together can humanity move toward justice and a shared peaceful future, with women playing a greater role in the conversation.\"}]","Voices of Faith - Stirring the Waters - Making the Impossible Possible - International Women’s Day Address | PDF",1790653074]
